Watch Your Back - Sunscreen

 Sunscreen

1

Apply a broad-spectrum SPF30+ product paying special attention to your ears, nose other areas which are especially sensitive, and prone to burning.

2

Once applied to the skin, reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, and less if you are prone to excessive sweating or simply working hard!

3

If you find it difficult to reach those tricky places, get someone else to do the honours and follow suit, or simply wear protective clothing.

4

Hands are vulnerable to the sun and are a common place for all types of skin cancer, ageing and age spots. Reapply sunscreen after washing hands.

5

Most sunscreens have a three-year shelf life, but the more the bottle is opened and closed and handled with grubby hands, the more contamination can enter and hasten degradation.

6

To avoid degradation, store sunscreen out of direct sunlight, and away from extreme hot or cold temperatures.
